back to Earth

A temporary failure is not a lifetime failure. After Cheng Zhen figured this out, his mood improved a lot.

Before he fought Rhine before, although he comforted himself that victory or defeat is nothing, as long as there is a fight.But after all, in the bottom of my heart, there is still a trace of luck, I want to try how many tricks I can survive in Rhine's hands, but whoever thinks that I can't match the last move.

This really hit him a bit at the beginning, but after he figured it out, Cheng Zhen was no longer so entangled.

Rhine is the best among the few emperors in the interstellar, and can almost be hailed as the number one combat force in the interstellar.And he himself is still a student, losing to Rhine is not an embarrassing thing.Instead of feeling sorry for the temporary self-esteem and face here, it is better to seize the few remaining opportunities and strive to improve yourself in the next few exchanges.

After thinking about this, Cheng Zhen also brought a smile on his originally depressed face, and greeted the shadow team members who were still confused behind him with a smile, and hurried back to his dormitory.

Although he lost miserably in this battle, he also gained a lot of experience in battle.He wanted to go back and think about it carefully, so as not to delay the momentary inspiration.

On the other hand, Cheng Yu, who was determined to go to the Far East Academy, was also making final preparations at home.

The in-depth conversation with Moyun Siluo that day made Cheng Yu, who was originally determined to go to Clemson College, finally change his mind, but it also made him more determined.In any case, as long as he can live to help his brother, he will work tirelessly.

Cheng Yu knew that he had many shortcomings compared to his elder brother, and he did not have the ability to fight the enemy like his elder brother.But now, now that he knows that there is another way to help Cheng Zhen, Cheng Yu will naturally not back down.

Clenching his hands tightly, Cheng Yu, who was packing his luggage, raised his head and looked at the vast universe above his head.

Extreme East Academy, let me go and find out!

In the Storm Fortress, since being severely reprimanded by Rhine that day, everyone thought that Cheng Zhen would at least be depressed for a while, but they didn't expect to see this black-haired human boy appearing in the waiting room full of energy the next day, even more fighting spirit than the first day Excitedly waiting for the battle with Rhine.

Does this kid have masochism?

Randall stroked his chin thinking, looked at Cheng Zhen with shining eyes, and then, as if he had figured something out, he just chuckled and remained silent.But the other shadow players are not as indifferent as he is. They, who have experienced the devastation of the Rhine devil, naturally can best understand the feeling of their confidence being thwarted to the end.I thought that after Cheng Zhen and Rhine had fought this time, there would be another Tianya Tongming.

Unexpectedly, this kid Cheng Zhen did not retreat but advanced, showing more eagerness to try than the first day.This made all the shadow members feel a little depressed and puzzled.

The only people who are happy to see this kind of situation are probably only the two people involved.With the mentality of losing more and more bravely, Cheng Zhen made up his mind to seize this rare opportunity and learn more.

Rhine, on the other hand, was also happy to see Cheng Zhen's momentum of becoming more and more courageous, and his attitude was obviously much better than on the first day.

Specifically, after defeating Cheng Zhen for the second time, Rhine no longer waved his sleeves and left, but continued to answer the questions Cheng Zhen found in actual combat.Both of them are obviously satisfied with this way of teaching and fighting.

Because of this, Cheng Zhen seemed to be closer to Rhine.

This made the shadow people watching from the sidelines even more surprised. They have only seen examples of being depressed by Rhine, but they have never seen Cheng Zhen, the more he is defeated, the better his relationship with Rhine.

Thinking of the rumors I heard before, Cheng Zhen rejected Rhine's several invitations.At that time, everyone thought that Cheng Zhen didn't know good from bad, and that he was too ambitious.

And it wasn't until this moment that they realized that it's useless to be soft on Cheng Zhen, but tough!Only by letting him see the difference in strength clearly, will this guy be obedient.

I can't see it, tsk tsk, I really can't see it.Cheng Zhen turned out to be a masochist.The eyes of the people in the shadows suddenly changed, and they looked at Cheng Zhen with a distant meaning.

One masochist, one ruthless, these two people are a perfect match.

In the blink of an eye, it was the last chance to fight Rhine. After the previous two experiences, Cheng Zhen was obviously more adaptable to the environment of fighting in the storm than the first time, and also figured out a way to deal with the elusive Rhine.That is feeling, Rhine once taught him the ability to perceive other people's emotions.

This point is also very useful in actual combat.Even Rhine, who is good at controlling emotions, will inevitably reveal a trace of killing intent at the moment when he is about to attack.And Cheng Zhen, who is keenly aware of this murderous intent, can immediately judge the direction of Rhine's lurking and take precautions.

However, the difference in strength is obvious. Sometimes, even if he accurately detects the location of Rhine's attack, Cheng Zhen may not be able to block his thunderous strike.

Rhine's shots are undoubtedly fast, ruthless, and accurate, but he has more reaction methods than others.When a blow fails or the enemy anticipates the opportunity, Rhine, who is extremely experienced in actual combat, can often have more means to attack again.

Whether it was a preemptive attack or a late comer, Cheng Zhen was a little caught off guard by the offensive from Rhine.After all, he is still not perfect in the use of the abilities of potential users, so how can he talk about dealing with the higher-level emperors?

The battle on the third day ended with Cheng Zhen's rapid defeat as expected.

Three defeats and three defeats, and such a miserable defeat, but no one laughed at Cheng Zhen. After all, the opponent's strength lies there, and Cheng Zhen is not without progress.

From being defeated in almost one minute for the first time, to being able to confront Rhine for more than ten minutes now, although this may not seem obvious, it is really an improvement in strength.In mech battles, there is a huge difference between a one-minute battle and a ten-minute battle.The former means you're powerless to fight back, and the latter is just as disastrous, but at least it proves that you can engage the enemy a few times.

In a real battlefield, this delay of more than ten minutes sometimes brings about changes in the entire battle situation.

"Boy, you did a good job!" As soon as Cheng Zhen came out of the cockpit of the mech, everyone in the shadows swarmed up.

Someone took advantage of his height and patted Cheng Zhen's head unceremoniously.

"Keep up the momentum, and if we continue with this momentum, we will definitely not be your opponents in a few years, and maybe you will be able to truly fight Lord Rhine once."

Surrounded by everyone, Randall looked at Cheng Zhen and said seriously.

"Well, I know." Cheng Zhen smiled. "However, before you are qualified to fight against His Excellency the Chief of the United Front, you must be defeated first."

Everyone in the shadows burst into laughter.

"Stinky boy, your tone is not small!"

"If you still want to defeat us, just wait to be abused by us!"

Randall also laughed sinisterly a few times, and said maliciously. "Although I admire your fighting spirit, I have to remind you, Cheng Zhen, before you say this, you have to look at the fate of your predecessors."

"Oh? Senior?" Cheng Zhen asked pretending to be ignorant. "Who are you referring to?"

"Well, it's actually an old story, and it's not good to bring it up all the time." Randall also sighed pretendingly melancholy. "Actually, I was also thinking about Lord Rhine back then, and wanted to take this opportunity to help improve Leiber's strength. After all, chicks have to grow up. In case Lord Rhine makes a mistake in the future, Leiber will always You can’t even have the power of revenge.”

"Really? I have to thank you." A cold voice that everyone was familiar with came from behind, and Randall froze all of a sudden.

But Jiang deserves to be old and hot. After being stunned for a while, Randall immediately reacted and saluted Rhine with a swish.

"Serving the adults is our duty! The subordinates have always dedicated themselves!"

Rhine glanced at him nonchalantly, and then stopped paying attention to the slick Captain Shadow, and said to Cheng Zhen.

"Come with me to the office."

"Yes." Cheng Zhen nodded and followed Rhine.

Seeing this, Randall on the side breathed a sigh of relief when a sudden voice came.

"The Shadow Squad listens to the order and will set off for the Algar defense line tomorrow. You will be responsible for the first reconnaissance. Make preparations immediately."

"Yes! Sir!" The shadow team members did not dare to be negligent, and they all stood at attention and answered loudly.

However, after Rhine and Cheng Zhen walked away, everyone looked at Randall with resentful eyes.

Reconnaissance first, this was originally the job of the reconnaissance team, but now it was taken over by the shadow of the so-called elite among the elites. Everyone could see that this was a deliberate move by Rhine.

Everyone's plan to have a good rest for the last day today was all wasted!

Facing a group of resentful and even rebellious team members, the culprit laughed a few times.

"There is still a task tomorrow. Well, I'll go back and prepare first." As he spoke, he moved his feet lightly, wanting to leave.

The shadow team members got angry and surrounded them one after another.

"I still want to escape! Stop him!" Ya Sai took the lead in attacking.

"Group fight! Group fight!"

"Damn! Stop it, don't forget who is the captain!" Randall's struggling voice was faintly heard in the crowd, but it became weaker.

Cheng Zhen, who was walking far ahead, could still faintly hear some wailing sounds behind him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

Leiber, now I have finally avenged you.

Cheng Zhen was in a better mood, and briskly followed Rhine all the way.

Afterwards, in Rhine's exclusive office, the two had a secret conversation for several hours, and no one knew exactly what was discussed in this conversation.It's just that when Cheng Zhen walked out again, his brows were no longer so stretched, but slightly wrinkled.

The next day, before Rhine's troops set off for the front line, Cheng Zhen left Storm Fort first.

Everyone in Shadow came to see him off, and Leiber had already left a few days ago.

"Cheng Zhen!"

Before walking into the shuttle, there was a call from behind.

Cheng Zhen turned his head and saw Randall and Yasai waving at him.

"Boy, don't think I don't know you did it on purpose, just wait for me to avenge yesterday!" Randall, with a bruised nose and swollen face, looked a little funny when he said this.

"When we meet again next time, don't just think about avoiding my attack, think about how to defeat me!" Yasai said loudly.

Cheng Zhen smiled and responded loudly. "I will! Come again next time, and I won't lose to you again!"

"Stinky boy!"

Waving goodbye to those who were about to go to the front line, Cheng Zhenxin also felt a little sentimental.He couldn't help laughing at himself, it seemed that he was really not suitable for this kind of parting scene.

And until the final shuttle took off, there was no sign of Rhine.

Cheng Zhen sat by the window, watching the Storm Fortress below him gradually getting smaller and smaller until it broke through the atmosphere, and even the planet turned into a small dot in his sight.Only then did he let out a soft sigh.

This experience in Storm Fortress will always be a precious memory in his memory.However, the time he spent with the shadow players was a precious friendship.

It's just that the world is always changing, and I don't know what the shadow members will look like when they meet again next time?In other words, how many of them will survive the next time they go to the front line?

Thinking of what Rhine said to him before leaving, Cheng Zhen frowned even tighter.

Algar's line of defense, he had a hunch that it would be a place of destiny that would change everyone's fate.
